I love bike cops.
I got caught jay-walking by two bike cops. Didn't hear them coming, had no idea they were anywhere near me. Excellent! I was so excited to see how effective bike cops were, that I didn't even mind that I got caught being an idiot.

The chief of police in our little village rides a bike on duty in the summer.

totally not bike related, but i saw a segment on the news about a town that's using a golf cart to patrol the town because of high gas prices.

It's always amazed me that cities don't use "mounted" patrol more whether it is on a bike, horse or golf cart - and not based on gas prices. Having the officer outside that metal cage makes him (or her) more approachable and effective. All can go where the car can't (to varying degrees).
